My UK bank sent me a 'Individual Self Cert Form' a good few months back, along with one for the wife. We have a joint bank account. I filled them out and sent them off.
Other day I get new forms to fill out. I asked others UK farangs if they got them and the response was 'no'. I just wondered if any other members of TD had received similar forms. The form starts off
There appears to be no questions on the form that they don't know the answers to. Would there be a problem if I just binned it or am I legally bound?Individual Self Certification Form.
